Our customers are always asking us about the language
we use, so we are providing a short list. Some are used in emails, others
while talking about computers or the computer industry.
Here are some of the basic acronyms people
use in e-mails. When in doubt, don't use them. Remember your audience. If
they don't know what they mean, they are useless.
